Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice broadcast systems lack personalization, leading to rigid and inflexible user experiences, as they use the same voice broadcasts across various scenarios without considering user-specific information or context.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for broadcasting personalized voice packets by sending a voice broadcast request to a server that includes scenario, user, or voice packet setting information, allowing the client to receive and broadcast customized voice content based on user preferences and context.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the same voice broadcast content is used for all users, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but user satisfaction and personalization are deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidpersonalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-collects user information including location, preferences, and behavior patterns before voice broadcast occurs. This preliminary data gathering enables personalized content selection without adding operational complexity during actual broadcast, as the personalization logic is prepared in advance through user profiling and context tracking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A server acts as an intermediary between the broadcast system and users, receiving voice broadcast requests with user information and returning customized voice packets. This intermediary handles the complex personalization logic centrally, allowing individual clients to maintain simple operations while still receiving personalized content through the server's mediation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalized voice packets are generated for each user, then user satisfaction and personalization are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements are increased

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments voice broadcast content into modular voice packets that can be independently selected and customized. Each voice packet contains specific information (directions, points of interest, warnings) that can be individually tailored to user preferences and context, allowing personalized composition without requiring complete redesign of the broadcast system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system personalizes voice broadcasts by changing parameters such as content selection, tone, volume, and timing based on user information and context. Instead of creating entirely different broadcast systems, personalization is achieved by adjusting existing parameters (e.g., selecting different voice packets for different users, modifying broadcast timing based on user behavior patterns), which reduces overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If user information and context are collected and processed, then personalization accuracy is improved, but information processing time and system resource usage are increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

User information including location, preferences, and behavior patterns is collected and processed in advance before voice broadcast occurs. This preliminary processing creates user profiles and pre-determines personalized content selections, so that during actual broadcast the system can quickly retrieve and deliver customized voice packets without extensive real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses automatically collected user information and context data without requiring manual input or real-time user interaction. User preferences, location data, and behavior patterns are gathered passively and used to automatically select and customize voice packets, eliminating time-consuming manual configuration while maintaining high personalization accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
